CUBOT Note Plus 32GB Mobile Phone Black

The media could not be loaded.  Having had a couple of other Cubot phones in the house, Dinosaur and Magic, from experience I have come to appreciate their reliability and features which have handled everything that we have thrown at them and the Note plus seems to be continuing this trend with plenty of power to run a multitide of memory hungry apps and games and still last a day in terms of battery power.Every now and then a phone with fingerprint security comes along and works flawlessly with touches of a finger being recognised on first press and the Note plus is one of those phones. Having the ability to add more than one fingerprint in to memory means that several fingers on either hand, or even additional users, can use this handy feature.I have taken a real liking to the new Type-c charging connector emerging with many new phones, a much preferred and sturdier option to micro USB. Just means that small inexpensive convertors are required for some of my existing cables that I will use at various locations, i.e car charger etc.Sadly no OTG compatibility for my USB flash drives but I mostly use various cloud services and apps for file transfer so not too much of an issue at present.Presentation============Design wise the phone looks and feels great something I would expect of certain high range models. The bundled soft silicon case and toughened screen protector helps maintain the good looks as well as protect the phone a fair bit from harm.The screen is crystal clear with images and text being sharp. The 3 touch sensitive task buttons work at the slightest of touches which is good however neither of them are backlit.Performance and Memory======================Performance wise the 3GB does well at multi tasking and having several apps running in the back ground without interferring with the app being used. Even playing games with resource intensive apps like Facebook produces no problem at all.The ability to increase the 32GB storage area further by inserting a micro SD card gives much more space for personal files like music and books as well be app hungry without the need to clean out infrequently used apps all the time.Cell network connectivity on both of the networks used in the phone has been consistent with no speed issues when it comes to data/internet use. Whilst the phone is 4G compatible only one SIM will work on 3G or 4G where as the other will be 2G. Seeing that the second sim is for calls and texts only this suits fine. However, depending on need, i.e when data allowance runs low on one sim the other sim can take primary role to make use of 4G instead, roles can be switched within the software all without needing to physically swop the SIMs. Even GPS seems to be accurate with the likes of copilot sat nav working in a timely manner.Camera======The 16MP front and rear cameras work brilliantly. Whilst no bokeh effect mode like the Magic we have, the higher resolution selfie camera sure makes up for it; normally most selfie cameras on low to mid handsets are failry low resolution so its good that higher quality images can be taken from both front or rear of the phone. Given the specs and quality of images from the camera I believe it is worthy of being called a cameraphone.Audio=====Audio quality from the builtin speakers is pretty good for such a level of handset. Playing games and taking calls is without any distortion or clarity issues. Audio via headphones, bluetooth and wired, again brilliant which using the PowerAmp music player app really takes advantage of and enhances further.Summary======A brilliant all round phone which with the easy to use Android 7 software installed and two 16MP cameras means it is a gem of a phone for someone like myself who demands a fair amount from a phone.

What a cracking phone for the money. Unlike most Chinese phones he battery is replaceable. My last phone was a HTC m8. I consider this a far better phone except for the lack of NFC which is why I marked it down. Works seamlessly and comes with no bloatware ie fb,twiltter etc. Feels great,looks great so why would any mug buy a so called top of the range phone? I've used s7s that don't run as smoothly as this phone. This is also the 2nd Chinese phone I've owned(other was Gerber Thor) and both are better than sam+ iPhone. Do yourself a big favour and buy this or there are also cheaper models. You don't have to keep up with the latest over priced phone when a penis extension would be cheaper and more vfm when these work just as well?Update. 1 month in and the battery doesn't last more than 12 hours which badly let's an otherwise good phone down badly.

I got this cheap little phone to use out and about on my soon approaching travels. It’s been a while since I spent this little on a phone, and to see how much quality has improved yet cost has decreased is fascinating.I’m very satisfied what I’ve got for my money. The fingerprint scanner is an obvious plus, biometric security on a sub £120 phone is great.It’s got 3 GB ram and a rather basic processor/GPU, but it does exactly as expected for the price point. No, you won’t be running the most graphically demanding games, but simply using the G-Apps suite, and listening to music, and taking the odd photo is great, as well as using it as a device for viewing media on an SD card. As there are two Sim slots as well, this can be particularly useful for those travelling tooAlso, I want to touch on the sound output – I was extremely impressed with the audio output from the headphone jack, it’s comparable to my main phone, which costs 5 times as much – very happy as this is quite an important factor for me as I rely on Spotify premium a lot.Overall, this phone looks high quality, despite being plastic, and ultimately has a great cost to feature ratio.

Really like this phone. For the price I don't think you can get better value for money. Battery life seems to be ok/average. Lasts one day with moderate use. Display is clear and the phone seems fast. Does not freeze. The only let down is the camera. In good outdoor light the photos are good and clear, however indoor with low light the camera is a little slow and picture quality is a bit poor. Not sure what it is like for gaming.I think for the price you won't get a better phone

I bought this as a cheap second phone. I travel a lot and need multiple SIM cards. This is 4G, really slick and accommodates two SIMs. It also comes with a small charger and cable. The interface is really smooth. This is my second Chinese phone and I'd happily buy another. As an added bonus, they throw in a screen protector and a see-through case.One thing to remember: you have to pull the small plastic tab that is isolating the battery, otherwise it won't start up.

My phone arrived as expected,on time. As I've only had the phone for a couple of days I'm still getting to grips with some of the different functions.For the price I have paid I am relatively pleased with my purchase the screen responds well and is a good size. The one drawback I have found up to now is the Wi-Fi connection is quite bad I've never had a problem with previous phones connecting before.Overall up to now though I am satisfied with my purchase.

Excellent phone, problems with Bluetooth initially. Factory reset and restarted, then ok. Good camera and 4g operation, plus memory and processor speed ! Screen/phone size perfect for pocket, better than my Cubot Dinosaur which has a larger screen and battery but poor 4g.Annoyed with free screen protector coming away from screen when label peeled and then creased with bubbles when put back. Ordered a leather flip case with long delivery from China(4 weeks) instead.
